United States Patent O Coleman, lslaperwiii., lli., assigner to Automatic es, inc., Northlake, iii., a corpora- 'fhe present invention relates in general to automatic telephone systems and more particularly to improvements in automatic toll ticketing telephone systems arranged to automatically select a proper route for the extension of an outgoing call and supervise and process during the period of the extension of the call.

The prior automatic toll ticketing telephone networks of the type disclosed in the Ostline, Coleman and Taugner patent application, Serial No. 628,474, filed December 3, 1956, now US. Patent 3,019,295, granted January 30, 1962, toll ticketing telephone connections are established under the control of common equipment accessed by a code dialed into the local switch train by the calling subscri'oer. The common equipment usually includes a toll ticket repeater, a calling line directory number detector, a translator-sender circuit to insure that the digits are properly dialed into the succeeding exchange and a tabulator with its associated daters and ticket perforators to compile the data relating to the call and make a record of it. This type of ticketing equipment has met with great success. ln the improved toll ticketing system described herein to further increase the economies and versatilities offered by systems of this general type, the previously enjoyed advantages of toll ticketing have been extended to exchanges in a network utilizing the present standard toll access number 112. This is performed by using an arrangement in the ticketer whereby the party identity is detected during the dialing of the called party number. In this connection reference is made to the copending application of Edward I. Glenner filed November 2l, 1960, Serial No. 70,526. This improved type ticketer, installed in an oliice, is used for the processing of subscriber dialed toll calls from that oice as well as from stations served by the branch oiiices. This ticketer eliminates the need for the dialing of a special party identity digit following the toll access code.

The elimination of the party identity digit as described, created the problem of not having sucient time for the ticketer to access an available translator-sender before the subscriber commences dialing the digits of the called number. The translator-sender cannot therefore immediately receive these digits as dialed by the subscriber. To overcome this difficulty the ticketer must now store the first digit. According to this invention while subsequent digits are being dialed directly to the translator-sender the rst digit is removed from storage as a series of revertive pulses controlled by the improved translator sender.

Accordingly, the main object of the present invention is a register-sender which shall accept the second and subsequent digits of a called number as dialed by the calling subscriber whiie revertively reading the first digit, which the subscriber had dialed earlier, from a register in the ticketer.

Another object of the present invention is an improved automatic toll ticketing telephone system for use in telephone networks incorporating a register-sender (Transender) which shall in the event of a delay, prior to initiating sending of the routing digits, recheck for the latest available route to the desired exchange.

it is an ancillary object of the invention to provide new and improved circuits and apparatus for accomplishing the above rechecking operations.

Patented Nov. 5, i963 rice t is a feature of this invention to provide in a telephone system improved register-senders operable to accept a second and third digit of a called subscriber code as pulsed by a calling subscriber, while receiving the rst digit by revertive pulsing.

Another feature of this invention is the circuitry of the register-sender whereby it will provide a re-translation when sending is to be delayed so that up-to-the-moment routing information is utilized at the start of sending.

Furt er objects and features of the present invention pertain to the particular arrangement of the various circuit elements of the automatic toll ticketing telephone system, whereby the above objects and additional operating features are obtained.

The invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further advantages thereof will best be understood by reference to the following specification taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which FIGS. 1 to 4, inclusive, illustrate in schematic form the details of the sender portion of the Transender.

The major function of the sender is to control the sending of impulses from the transender. The sending operation is started as soon as the coder has received the routing directive, or the coder may await a signal from the ticketer before starting the sender.

Pulses are generated by a small constant speed motor (48 v. DC.) to control the sender pulse relay to provide pulses at a uniform speed and pulse ratio. Pulses sent by this circuit are determined by information stored in the coder and ticketer. Pulses are sent over a special lead and over the loop to the ticketer selector (or equivalent switches). An adjustable interdigital pause is provided.

FiGS. 5 to 8, inclusive, illustrate in schematic form the details of the coder portion of the Transender. The transenr er coder is an integral part of the transender and as such operates in direct conjunction with the transencler codexer and transender sender.

One transender from a common pool is associated with a ticketer while the subscriber dails the called number.

t is retained under control of the ticketer until it obtains a routing ,directive either from the common translator or from the built-in directive in its coder and until it com- -pletes the required sending. Upon completion of sending, the ticketer switches through and frees the transender for use on other calls. The functions of the coder are:

(l) When it receives a skip control directive and a routing directive from the translator through a bar relay to store them on codel relays.

(2) To route calls to an operator or release the transender and provide busy tone if the translation is of a non-standard nature.

When the coder is used on calls requiring routing directives from the translator, all codel leads and other leads are extended for a brief period to the translator. At the same time, a relay is operated in the translator as determined by the oice code and area code dialed by the subscriber. The relay momentarily grounds some of these leads and operates the corresponding relays of the coder extended to it. The operated codel relays in turn place ground on codel leads and thereby make the routing directive available to the transender-sender. Most routing directives consist of fewer digits than the six provided during the interdigital interval following the sending of the preceding routing digit, and upon encountering the iirst empty codel will cause the coder out sequence switch to skip over the remaining codels of the routing digit storage.

FIGS. 9 and l() illustrate in schematic form the details of the codexer of the Transender. The transender codexers main functions are:

(l.) To receive subscriber dial pulses, inverted and repeated to the transender by a ticketer.

(2) To register the three-digit office or foreign area code on an 800 point Strow'ger switch to select a code lead extending into the common translator. The selected code lead is marked, and the single code indication is forwarded under control of the translator assigner.

(3) To recognize specific foreign area codes requiring dual translation, in which case the area code is stored on rotary switches and the Strowger switch is released and repositioned on the `three-digit oice code. The original area code is forwarded via one of ve leads and the selected oice code lead is marked under control of the translator assigner.

(4) To provide facilities to identify up to tive foreign areacodes for dual translation.

(5 To provide homing circuits for rotary switches and a release magnet for the Strowger switch with release failure alarm under control of the associated sender unit Y 'of the associated sender unit of the transender.

FIG. 11 illustrates the apparatus incorporated in the exchange.

FIG. l1 of the drawing also discloses in schematic block diagram form the switching equipment of the main exchange a subscriber line, a detector allotter, a detector lDET, a trunk circuit llOTI outgoing to a branch exchange, and a ticketer selector HTS for accessing outgoing trunks, as well as the tabulator 11T2, Dater Timer Transfer llDTT, D'ater Timer llDT, Pulse and time interrupter MTI and the Tape Perforator 11TP.

T he functions of the switching equipment, line finders, selectors is well known and its operation will not be described in detail. The functions of the ticketer 11TK, translator 11TR and the tabulator 11T2 with its associated equipment will however be summarized for a clearer understanding of the invention. A detailed description of a Ticketer suitable for use with this invention may be found in the copending application of Glenner, led November 1960, Serial No. 70,526.

' The principal functions of the Ticketer shown as box llTK are as follows:

1.- FUNCTiON COMMON TO ALL CALLS (a) It calls for a transender when seized.

(b) It repeats to the Transender the Oiice code digits on seven or eight digit calls or the area code plus the oiiice code digits (if needed) on ten or eleven digit calls.

(c) It absorbs those digits of the called number which are not required for sending.

(d) It provides for stop-dial and flashing signal super- Y vision.

(e) After an adjustable grace period, it times the length of conversation from the time the called party answers until the calling party disconnects.

(f) It stores the following ticketing information during conversation: the calling number 7 (digits); the called number (7, 8, 10, or 1l digits); and a change in toll rates indication, if it occurs during the call.

(g) After the calling party has disconnected, it calls for a tabulator and transfers to it the ticketing information. During this transfer operation, the Ticketer is guarded against seizure from another call, but the calling line and the outgoing trunk are released. The Ticketer releases after transfer is completed.

(lz) If the call is not answered, the Ticketer releases when the calling patty disconnects and no ticketing information is recorded for the call.

(i) It provides special markings to the Transender when unstandard conditions are encountered.

(j) It provides visual supervision of the progress of a call through the Ticketer by means of the SUPY lamp. 2. FUNCTIONS OF THE TICKETER PERTAINING TO LOCAL ACCESS CALLS (a) It tests for a low-resistance ground leak on the calling line.

3. FUNCTIONS OF THE TICKETER PERTAINING TO REMOTE ACCESS CALLS (TYPE B SERVICE) (a) It receives the calling partys number which has been detected in the branch oice.

(b) It provides for extending the call to a D operator should an incomplete detection occur.

4. EUNCTroNs on THE VTrCKETEn PERTAINTNG To REMOTE ACCESS CALLS (TYPE D SERVICE) (a) It provides for extending the call to a D operator when the calling party has completed dialing the called number. l

The translator MTR is a group of relays which is used in conjunction with the Transenders for the purpose of supplying the transenders with the necessary routing directive as determined by the iirst three or six digits registered in the transender on its codexer. The translator is common to the transender; it is seized only momentarily when a routing directive is required. The connection of the transender to the translator is controlled by the translator assigner.

The tabulator 11T2 circuits function is to forward toll call ticketin-g ldata to tape perforators. The toll call ticketing data consists of information received from the ticketer, the dater-timer, the radexer (if provided), and from the tabulator itself.

The information received from the ticketers consists of the ticketer identity number (three digits), conversation. time (three digits), called number (seven, ten or eleven digits), calling number (tive digits) and a possible change in rates during call conversation timing indication. The information received from the dater-timer consists of the calender date (day and month), the time of day and a day or night rate indication. The ydater-timer is directly connected to the tabulator via a dater-timer transfer circuit. The information connected directly within the tabulator is the tabulator identity (two digits) and the' ABC office code (three digits) of the calling party.

The calling number received yfrom the ticketer is comd posed of four terminal digits and an office code unit. The oice code unit is a special marking' to one of ten relays, each of which represents a separate otce. Thus, the tabulator is capable of supplying a maximum of ten ABC oiiice codes to the tape perforator.

The tabulator provides for access to as many as iifty ticketers. Under control of theV tabulator allotter, it will hunt for and find a ticketer calling for a tabulator.

All data received from the ticketer is stored on relays in the tabulator prior to being forwarded to the tape penforator.

When the punched tape is processed for printing a ticket or punching a record card, the tape roll is removed and fed into other equipment in the reverse direction from that of the origi-nal punching.

In order that the ticket or punching card come out with a straight record of the call, all data is sent in reverse order from the ticketer to the tabulator and from the tabulator to the tape perforators. The tabulator is described in greater detail in the Ostline application Serial No. 625,773 filed December 3, 1956, now U. S. Patent 2,981,798 granted April 25, 1961.

FIG. 12 illustrates the manner of combining FIGS. l to 11 inclusive of the drawings to form a uniiied system.

' DETAILED OPERATION Seizure From Local Selector-Local Access Calls When the calling subscriber at station llP'IYZV removes his receiver, t--e usual loop circuit, including the line conductors is completed for operating the line circuit llLC. In response to the completion of the above mentioned loop circuit, the line circuit llL initiates operation of the distributor and marks the terminals of the calling subscriber line in the bank contacts of a `group of line tinders, including the line iinder 1l?, having access to the calling subscriber line. For the purpose of this description it will be assumed that the distributor selects the line iinder -llF and that the latter linder operates its wiper in a vertical and then in a rotary direction in the well-known manner to select the terminals in the associated bank terminating to the calling line. When the calling line is found by the line iinder lF, it extends the calling line to the individually associated iirst selector lSl and the latter selector transmits the usual dial tone signal to the calling subscriber to indicate that the dialing may be started. The above noted switching apparatus, including the line circuit MLC, the distributor, the line finder 11F and the rst selector i151 may be of conventional construction and arrangement and may be, of example, of the type illustrated in the vialrlrer latent No. 2,289,896, granted July 14, 19d-2 and in the Saunders Patent No. 1,849,694, granted March 15, 1932.

Since the calling subscriber at station llPTYZ intends to extend the connection to a called subscriber in a remote exchange it is necessary to prefix the director number of the called subscriber with the access code digits 112. Consequently, when the calling subscriber received the dialing tone signal the dial is actuated in accordance with the digit to transmit one loop impulse to the rst selector ZllSl. This `selector then raises its wipers in a vertical direction to the first level and then rotates its wipers over this selected level to search for a succeeding selector i182 and through 1152 and 1183 in the same manner to an idle ticketer, such as the ticketer THR. lt will be assumed for the purpose or" this description that the selectors now extend the connection from the calling subscriber line by way of the cable to the ticketer. The cable includes the conductors, the -iconductor and the control conductor. If the ticketer is busy, the control conductor will be grounded in order to indicate the `busy condition to the selectors. Thus, as the selector rotates its wipers over the level it will pass over `contacts terminating ticketers having grounded control conductors.

When the selector wipers come to rest upon contacts not having a grounded control conductor the ticketer is seized and will accept the digits as dialed by the calling subscriber. These digits are comprised of the oiiice code and the terminal numbers, and it the call is to a foreign area the above digits 4will be preceded by a three digit area code. The ticlretcr accepts these digits and stores them. During the dialing by the calling subscriber of the irst digit the ticketer initiates a hunt #for a yfree transender unit. The second and subsequent digits are repeated to the transender as dialed. The first stored digit is then sent to the transender revertively during the interval of the dialing of the second and third digits.

Upon completion of the operations involving the transender the ticketer then functions to complete and monitor the call.

OrEaArroN 0F Connu (12) Seizure (Operated: Relays 6T E and 6T C) Absence of ground on lead 1G marks this circuit idle to the Trans-ander Hunter associated with the preceding equipment (Ticketer).

When seized, the circuit is closed to relay olSB via lead 1B from the associated Sender. Relay @BB operates, closes ground yto switch STR, closes lead 6T? (Time Pulse) to switch STL opens the circuits to relays STE and 6TC, prepares a circuit to relay 63A, closes ground to levels A, B, and C wipers oi switch T, and prepares the holding circuit to the codel storage relays. Relay `6T C restores and closes ground to lead 1G. Relay 6T E restores, closes a multiple ground to lead 1G, and short circuits the therniistor 6T. Switch `STR operates and opens its INT springs. The INT springs open the circuit of switch STR. Switch STR restores, closes its 1INT springs, land advances its wipers one step which closes ground to lead 'TRSH via tits level A wiper. On the iirst rotary step its R.S..O.'N. springs operate, close switch 4STR to tlead dSl, and close a multiple ground to lead 3G. Pulses, via lead eTP, are provided at 10 or 15 pulses per minute 'with the rate automatically selected in vaccordance with the loading of the Transender group, closing ground to switch dT via the 6T? lead. The operation of timing switch STT is explained in a subsequent section.

Type ANI Call CALLENG FOR A IBRANSLATOR (OPERATED: RELAY 613B AND SWITCHES '8TR) Ater the associated Codexer 13 has received the area fand/or ABC oce code and the associated Sender il has received a complete detection indication from. the Ticketer, ground is closed trom the Sender il via lead lSAL, level D of switch @SEQ in the associated Codexer i3, lead SSAO, .to relay 68A. Relay GSA operates transters lead S Hold Afrom direct ground to resistance ground (relay 68K), grounds lead 5 Start to indicate to the translator Assigner that a translation is required, and opens lead SAT.

TRANSLATIGN (OPERATED: RELAYS SBB AND GSA, AND SWITCHES sri, AND vs'rR) As the Translator Assigner hunts for lwhe calling Coder, resistance ground on lead S l-lold indicates to the Translator Assigner that this circuit requests a translation. When the Translator Assigner steps to this circuit, low resistance battery is closed via lead S Hold to relay 68K.

Relay GSK operates, closes lead S Assign to lead lSL, grounds lead `SYT to indicate that translation is in progress, closes leads SMTC and SMTE to relays 6TC and respectively, grounds lead SAG, and closes relay '7TA to lead SMTA.

Start of Sending IMMlBDrATE SENDING (OPERATED: RELAYS IGBB, GSA, AND GSK, AND SXVITCHES ST1 AND 8TR) For immediate sending the directive Ifrom the translator includes a ground mark on lead SMTA. Relay 'ITA operates through its iirst winding via ground on lead SMTA, looks through its second winding, and closes a circuit to relay SBR. Bar relay SBR operates and extends leads SMW l1 through 'Sh/1TB. Subsequent action in the Codexer 13 and Sender l causes the Translator 14 to operate and close grounds representing the sending control digit and a directive of one to six digits to code storage rel-ay groups markedCodels 11 through l?. The various code storage relays operate, lock, and close ground to Ithe bank lterminals of switch STR.

The ground mark on lead SMTA is also closed to leads SMTB and STAB when bar relay SBR operates. Ground via lead SMTB closes a circuit to relay 68B which operates, locks, removes lead 22T from relay 7DS, and opens leads 2T1, SPL, ano SWP. Ground lead STAB closes a circuit to relay 7TB which operates, locks, closes leads 24 VAC and MOT, and opens the circuit to relay 68A. Relay `68A restores, transfers ground from lead 5 Start to lead S Hold, closes lead AT, grounds leads 35B and SXT, and opens the circuit to relay 68K.. Ground on lead SXT indicates to the Ticketer that -digit or 9-digit called numbers are insuicient. Relay @SK restores, opens the circuits to the first windings of relays 7TA and 68B, removes ground 4troni leads SAG and SYT, opens the circuit to relay SBR, opens lead S Assign from lead 1SL, )and removes leads SMTE and SMTC from relays 6TE and GTC respectively. Relay SBR restores, opens leads SMWll through SMTD.

If the Coder received a ground mark on lead SMTC from the Translator 14 during translation, relay 6TC will have operated (before relay 65K restored), and ground will not be closed to lead SXT when relay 65A restores.

This indicates `to the Ticketer that 6-digit or 9-digit called numbers are insuicient.

DELAYED SENDING (OPEBATED: RELAYS GBB, GSA,

AND GSK AND SWITCHES ST1 AND STR) lf sending must be delayed, the directive will include a ground mark on lead SMTB instead of on lead SMTA. Relay 65B operates through its rst winding via ground on lead SMTB, `locks through its second winding, removes lead 2ZT from relay 7D5, opens the circuit of relay 65A, and opens lead 2T1, SPL, and SWP. Relay 651A restores, closes ground to lead S Hold, removes groun 4from lead S Start, closes lead SAT, and opens the circuit of relay 65K. Relay 65K restores, prepares a circuit to the irst winding'of relay 7TA, removes ground from yleads SAG and SYT, removes leads SMTE and SMT C from yrelays 6T E and 6TC, and opens the circuit to the rst winding of relay 65B.

.At the completion of dialing, 'ground is closed to the second winding of relay SDD via leads SDD, SCM, and SCA. Relay SDD operates X contacts SDDS, locks on its second winding, closes a circuit to relay SDC to ground via lead SDD, removes switch ST1 from the time pulsing circuit, closes switch ST1 -to ground via its level A wiper, opens lead 7B, and closes a circuit to relay 7TA. Switch y'ST1 operates. and steps its wipers self-inter ruptedly. Relay SDC operates, recloses switch ST1 to 'the pulsing circuit, -and recloses lead 7FB. Relay ITA operates, locks and closes a circuit to relay 65A. Relay 65A operates, ycloses lead S Hold to relay 65K, and grounds lead S Start. The Coder 12 is now ready Ifor retranslation. When the Translator Assigner again steps to this circuit, resistance battery is closed to relay GSK, and translation continues as explained in the preceding section.

NOTE: If conditions for rte-translation are satised prior to assignment for initial translation, -the re-transla- IJcion cycle will be by-passed. Ground via lead SDD closes relay SDD which operates and closes a circuit to relays SDC and 7TA. The circuit continues to operate as previously described.

SENDING (OPERATED: RELAYS SBB, TTA, J"TB, GSB,

POSSIBLY 6TC, SWITCHES ST1 AND ISTR) Vfhen ground is closed to lead 35B, relay 25B of the Sender 11 operates. Various relays in the Sender operate to start .the sending of the sending control digit stored on relay storage group marked Codel 11 and appearing on bank position 1 of switch STR. They also close the circuit to switch STR via lead SMM. Any one or two relays (W11, X11, Y1-1, or Z11) operated, will close ground through leads W11, X11, Y11, or Z11, levels C, D, E, or F of switch STR, leads SW, SX, SY, or SZ to levels A and B of switch 451 of the Sender 11 tomark the sending control digit.

Switch 451 scans and, when both wipers are simultaneously connected to ground, relay EPC of the Sender operates, closes a circuit to relay ZPB which stops sending and opens the circuit of switch STR. Switch STR restores and advances its Wipers one step, connecting the iirst digit of the routing directive through levels C, D, E, and F of switch STR to the Sender through leads SW, SX, and SY, and SZ. Ground from the Sender again closes the circuit to switch STR. Switch 451 starts scanning again and, when both wipers are simultaneously connected to ground, relay 413C operates, closes a circuit to relay ZPB which stops sending and opens the circuit to switch STR. Switch STR restores and advances its wipers one step. Subsequent digits stored are sent in the same manner as explained above.

RELEASE (OPERATED: RELAYS SBB, 7TA, WTB, GSB, VARIOUS CODEL RELAYS, AND POSSIBLY BDD, SDC, AND 6TC, AND SWITCHES STR AND ST1) When the Transender Sender 11 releases, it removes ground from lead 1B to open the circuit of relay 6BB.

Relay 6BB restores, opens the circuits or relays SDD, 7TB, the operated codel relays, closes a circuit to relay STE, closes a circuit to relay 6TC (ir not already operated), closes lead SHM to switch STR via its INT and R.S.O.N. springs, and removes lead STP from switch ST1.

Relay TB restores, opens leads 24 VAC and MOT, removes ground from lead 35B, and opens the circuit to relay 65B. Relay SDD restores, and opens the circuits of relays SDC and 7TA. The operated codel relays restore. Relays SSB and SDC restore. Relay '/"TA restores and opens lead ZKT. Relay GTE operates and removes a multiple ground from lead 1G. Relay 6TC operates (if not already operated) and removes a multiple ground from lead 1G.

After the Sender 11 has released completely, ground is closed to lead SHM to close the homing circuit to switch ST1. Switch ST1 operates and homes to normal. Wnen at normal, its R.S.O.N. springs restore and close to homing circuit to switch STR. Switch STR homes, and when at normal restores its R.S.O.N. springs. The R.S.O.N. springs open its homing circuit and remove ground from lead 1G. The circuit is now at normal.

Checking Operator Type Call OALLTNG FOR A TRANSLATOR ('OPERATED: RELAY GBB AND SWITCHES ST1 AND STR) T he Ticketer closes ground via the Transender Hunter and lead ZZT to relay 7135. Relay 7DS operates, locks, grounds lead SSAK, and closes lead SCA to relay 7TA.

After the associated Codexer 13 has received the area and/or ABC otiice code, ground on lead ISAL is closed through level D of switch E() in the Codexer 13, lead SSAO, to relay 65A. Relay 65A operates, transfers lead S Hold from ground to relay 65K, closes ground to lead S Start to indicate to the Translator Assigner that a translation is required and opens lead SA'T.

ITHANSLATION (OPERATED: RELAYS SBB, GSA, YDS, AND SWITCHES ST1 AND STR) Translation is the same as explained earlier.

Start of Sending IMMEDIATE SENDING (OPERATED: RELAYS SBB, 65A, GSK, "IDS, AND SWITCHES ST1 AND STB) Immediate sending is the same as explained in an earlier section, except for the following. When relay 7TA operates, ground is closed to lead ZKT (since, relay 7DS is operated). Ground on lead ZKT indicates to the Ticketer that sending is to start.

Ground via lead SDD closes a circuit to relay SDD. Relay SDD operates its X contacts SDD6 locks, removes its second winding from lead SDD, closes the circuit of relay SDC to ground via lead SDD, removes switch ST1 from the time pulsing circuit closes switch ST1 to ground via its level A wiper, and opens lead 7FB. Switch ST1 operates and steps its wipers self-interruptedly. Relay SDC operates, recloses switch ST1 to the pulsing circuit, and recloses lead 7FB.

When the minimum required number of digits have been dialed (6 or 9 if the Coder 12 received a ground mark on lead SMTC, otherwise 7 or 10 digits), the Ticketer prepares to call in a checking operator. This is indicated by resistance battery (relay SDC) on Coder 12 lead SDD.

When the checking operator enters the call, resistance battery is closed to lead SDD which shunts relay SDC. Relay SDC restores, opens lead 7FB, and opens switch ST1 to stop its timing action. After the calling partys number is keyed in, the checking operator leaves the call and the resistance battery is removed from lead SDD. Relay SDC reoperates, closes lead 7FB, and closes switch ST1.

DELAYED SENDING (OPERATED: RELAYS eBB, 7DS, GSA, AND GSK AND SWITCHES ST1 AND STR) If sending must be delayed, the directive will include a ground mark on lead SMTB instead of a ground mark 9 on lead SMTA. Relay 68B operates through its iirst winding via ground on lead STMB, locks through its second winding, removes lead 22T from relay 7DS, opens the circuit of relay 65A, and opens lead ZTl, SPL, and SWP. Relay 55A restores, closes ground to lead S Hold, removes ground from lead Start, closes lead SAT, and opens the circuit of relay 68K. Relay 65K restores, prepares a circuit to the first winding ot relay 7TA, removes ground from leads SAG and SYT, and removes leads SMTE and SMTC from relays 6TE and 6TC opens the irst winding of relay 68B.

At the completion of dialing, ground is closed to the second winding of relay SDD via lead SDD. Relay SDD operates its X contact SDDS, locks removes its second winding from lead SDD, closes the circuit of relay SDC to ground via lead SDD, removes switch STT from the time pulsing circuit, closes switch STT to ground via its level A wiper, and closes lead 7F33. Switch ST1 operates and steps its wipers self-interruptedly. Relay SDC operates recloses switch ST1 to the pulsing circuit, and recloses lead 75B.

Vtfnen the required number of digits have been dialed, the Ticketer calls in the checking operator. Response of the checking operator closes various relays in the Ticketer and Sender il. Sender 11 relay SCT operates and closes a circuit between leads SCA and SCM which closes a circuitto relay 7T A. Relay 7TA operates, locks, closes a circuit to relay 68A, and grounds lead ZKT. Relay SSA reoperates, closes lead S Hold to relay 68K, and grounds lead S Start. The Coder 12 is now ready for retranslation. When the Translator Assigner again steps to this circuit, resistance battery is closed to relay 65K, and translation continues as explained in an earlier section. The checking operator, who enters the call, closes resistance battery to lead SDD which shunts relay' SDC. Relay SDC restores, opens lead 7FB, and opens switch @Tl to stop its timing action. After the calling partys number is keyed in, the checking operator leaves the cali and the resistance battery is removed from lead SDD. Relay SDC reoperates, closes lead 71:3, and closes the circuit to switch ST1.

Special Directives lf the Coder l2 receives a ground mark on lead Sl/TTD, ground is closed to relay STD. Relay STD operates, locks, and opens the operating circuit to relay SDD. Relays SDD 4and SDC will not operate and resistance battery (relay SDC) will be completely withheld from lead SDD. The checking operator will thus be byepassed when routing non-dialable, blocked, and unassigned codes or when routing to recorded message, tone, or intercept termination on the basis of the finding that no trunks are available on the initial translation.

lf the Coder lreceives a ground mark on lead SMTE. ground is closed to relay STE. Relay TE operates, locks, removes multiple ground from lead G, and removes a short circuit from Thermistor 6T. At the completion of dialing, ground is closed to relay SDD through the Thermistor 6T via lead SDD. After a time delay, relay SDD operates 'as previously described. The ground mark on lead SMTE is used in mixed numbering systems when extra-pull calls are comparatively numerous.

SENDING (GPERATED RELAYS GDB. TTA, GSB, TDS,

SDD. SDC, PGSSIBLY STD, ern, AND GTC, AND

invlrCHus str1 AND STR.)

Sending is the same as explained in an earlier section, with the following exception.

if all digits of the called number are to be deleted (indicated by ground yon lead SMTD during translation), switch STR steps self-interrupted from bank terminal 9 to 1G because of the operation of relay STD o-n translation. The reading leads SW, 8X, SY, and SZ are, therefore, not extended to the Ticketer in this case; instead a blanked pulse sending cycle occurs on bank terminal l@ lto cause the Ticketer to cut-through and release the Transender. Lead 7R80 is also grounded on this step of switch STR.

At this point the Sender il goes through the motion of sending code WXZ and sends a sequencing pulse to the Ticketer which in turn switches through and effects release.

RELEASE (OPERATED: RELAYS GBB, 7213A, 7TB, SSB,

SDDv SDC. TDS, VARIOUS CODEL RELAYS, AND Pos- SIBDY ern, GTC, STD, AND SWITCHES STR AND srl) When the Transender Sender 11 releases, it removes ground from lead 1B to open the circuit to relay 6BB.

Relay SBB restores, opens the Icircuits to relays 7TA,

I'TB, SDD, 7DS, STD (if operated), he operated codel relays, closes TE `and GTC (if not already operated),

closes lead SHM to switch STR via its INT and R.S.O.N. springs, and removes lead 6TP from switch Tl. Relay 7TB restores, opens leads 24 VAC and MOT, removes ground from lead SSB, and opens the circuit to relay 65B. Relay SDD restores and opens the circuit of relay SDC. The operated codel relays restore. Relays 68B, SDC, 7DS, 'and 7TA restore. Relay STD restores. Relays 6TC land dTE operate (if not already operated) yand remove multiple ground from lead TG.

After the Sender il has released completely, ground is closed to lead SHM to `close the homing circuit to switch STT. Switch ST1 operates and homes to normal.

When at normal, its R.S.O.N. springs restore and close the homing circuit to switch STR homesf and when at normal restores its RLSDN. springs. 'The RSDN. springs open its ho-ming circuit and remove ground from Lead 1G. The circuit is now at normal.

Call Progress Timing Switch ST1 .supervises the subscriber-s dialing and various functions of the Ticketer and Transender yby providing time check points on its bank contacts as follows.

Switch ST1 follows the ground pulses via lead 6T? and steps its wipers every 4 to 6 seconds. On a normal call, the .timing switch lags the call progress, therefore it must be reset (see (e) above). When relay SDD operates, ground is closed to switch ST1 via its level A wipers. Switch ST1 steps self-inteiruptcdly to bank contact number 10 and restores. The operation of relay SDC recloses switch STl -to the time pulsing circuit. its level C Wipers are now positioned to continue the checkin-g, i.e. checkpoint (f). When the call is completed switch ST1 homes to normal via vlead SHM.

For special routing (omitting Bl-BS strap) strap Ai and/or Bl individually to required terminals of group C25-C6 if second routing digit is needed.

T 0 Provide Special Routing Directive Relay 'ITX operates, closes circuits to ythe first winding of relay 7TB, STB, the iirst winding of relay '7TA, and closes the operating circuits to `code storage relay groups marked Codel l2 `and possibly, Codel 113 (depending on The appropriate storage relays operate, lock, and close ground to the associated bank terminals of switch STR. Relay STD operates, locks, closes circuit to the storage relay Zlll, and connects terminal 9 of level A switch STR to lead 38K. Code storage relay ZH operates, relay 7TA operates and locks through its second winding. Relay 'TB operates, locks through its second winding, closes a circuit to the second WindinJ of relay 68B, and closes lead SSB to opera-te relay 23B in the Sender circuit il which starts the sending operations. Relay GSB of the Coder operates, locks, and opens the circuit of relay 7TX. Relay 7TX restores and removes multiple ground from relays STD, 7TA, the `tirst winding 0f relay 7TB, and operated Codel relays W12- 212, and W13-Z13.

When the sending cycle begins, ground closed to lead 8MM closesV a circuit to switch ETR. Switch TR operates. Relay Zll of Codel lil is at the present connected through level F of switch STR and lead SZ to switch 4ST of Athe Sender circuit 11. The operations of the control digit are the same as explained in the preceding section.

When the sending cycle is completed, ground is removed from lead SMM to open switch STR. Switch STR restores and advances its wipers to bank terminal 2 associated with storage group Codel i2, which stores the marking for the first digit of the special routing directive. Ground on lead 8MM again operates switch STR. After the sending cycle is completed, ground is removed from lead 8MM to open switch STR. Switch STR restores and advances its wipers lto bank terminal 3 associated with storage group Codel i3. The second digit (when provided) is sent in the same manner as explained above.

At the end of the rst or second digit, the circuit is closed to switch STR from ground through its level A Wiper, lead 38K, through the Sender circuit lil, lead 45E, and its R.S.O.N. Vand TNT springs. Switch 8 R steps its Wipers self-interrupted to bank terminal l() which closes the circuit to relay ZRS of ythe Sender circuit. In addition, ground is closed to leads SW, 6X, and SZ through bank terminal 10. Switch 4ST of the Sender circuit starts operating and, when wipers A, and B of switch 481 are connected simultaneously to ground, relay PC operates and sends a ground pulse via lead JSC` to a switch of the Ticketer to cause the Ticlreter to switch through and free the Transender.

To Provide Busy Tone t0 the Calling Party If in this condition it is desired to close busy tone to the calling party instead 4of a special routing, the following action will take place. VRelays 7TX, 7TA, '7T B, and 68B operate as explained in the preceding Section with the following exception. Ground is closed to leads SRLS and 7FB via terminals 73T and '7133, instead of the codel relays, when relay '7TX operates. This ground closes the circuit to relay TTS of the Sender ll. Relays TTS operate and opens the lcircuit of Sender relay TBB from lead THT. This action of the Transender, in initiating its own release, causes the Ticketer Ito extend busy tone to the calling party.

Subsequent operations are as explained in the earlier section.

To Provide Busy Tone to the Calling Party if, in this condition, it is desired to return busy tone to the calling party instead of a special routing, the following actions will take place. Relays 7TY, 7TA, 7TB, vSTD, and 65B operate as explained in the preceding section with the following exception. Ground is closed to leads SRLS and 7FB through terminals 732 and 7B3, instead of the operated codel relays, when '7TY operates. Subsequent operations are yas explained in the earlier section.

When the Sender relay IBB restores, the circuit releases as described earlier.

TT Translation (Operated: Relays 6BB und 6SA and switches 8TR and ST1) TRANSLATOR ASSIGNER FAILURE If a call requiring translation has not been extended 13 to the Translator within a specified period, presumably due to failure of the Translator Assigner, ground from timer switch ST1 is closed via its leve B bank tenminal S to relay TIT.

Translator Assigner Failure provides automatic transfer of translator assigner and either sending of special routing digit or busy tone from associated ticketer.

For busy tone witho-ut routing: Strap E2 to D4, B5 to B3, F2 to F3 and FS' to F6.

For special routing (omitting above straps) strap E2 to D4, F2 to F3, F5 to F5 and E1 to F1 also strap B5 and/ or B6' individually to required terminals of group A-A6 for routing dig-it. A second digit may be marked (terminals yCCs-C5) provided each digit -is 7 or higher.

To Provide Speciai Routing Direction Relay 'TT operates, closes a circuit lto the iirst winding of relay 7TB, STD, first winding of relay 7TA and the circuits to codel storage relay group marked Codel l2 and possibly Codel 13 and prepares a Ifailure alarm circuit via lead SAT.

Sending the Routing Directive THE CONTROL DIGIT ('OPERATED: RELAYS 133B, QRS, 3CT AND QSB) The combination of relays ZRS and SCT operated establish the control digit pulsing condition. Pulses are not transmitted to the outgoing loop on this digit. The rst ground pulse from the pulse generator closes a circuit to relay ZPB. The operating path of relay ZPB is: resistance battery via resistor ZRSA, contacts 3CT6 of operated relay SCT, bank contacts N and C of switch 4S2 level A at normal, and contacts of unoperated relay ZPB; a ground pulse via -lead 4P?, contacts of unoperated relays ZPF and ZPB, contacts 25136 of operated relay ZSB, and to lead Li-P7 which is connected to the pulse generator. ARelay ZPB operates and short circuits relay ZPF at contacts ZPES. When the ground pulse is removed, -the short circuit is removed from relay ZPF.

Relay ZPF operates in series with relay ZPE, closes an additional series circuit to itself and relay ZPE, closes the pulsing circuit to switch 451, grounds lead 8MM which operates switch STR in the Coder 12, and closes a pulsing circuit :to the Ticketer via lead 18C.

Levels A and B of switch S1 are connected to levels C, D, E, and F of switch STR in fthe Coder circuit -12 Via leads 4W, 4X, 4Y, and 4Z. Shunt field relay 4PC is connected to wipers A and B of switch 481 and operates only when both wipers are simultaneously connected to ground. This occurs when the wipers of switch 481 are stepped to the terminal corresponding to the digit marked via leads 4W, 4X, 4Y, and 4Z.

Switch 451 follows the ground pulse from the pulse generator and steps its wipers. On the first step, its RSONl springs operate and close a circuit to relay SPG. Relay 3FG operates, closes a multiple ground to relay ZRS. Switch 451 steps with each pulse until its wipers reach the terminals marked with the sending control digit in the Coder 12 `(via leads W11, X11, Yll, and Z1-1). When the sending control digit is reached, ground is closed to both windings of relay 2PC. Relay 2PC operates and closes a circuit to relay ZPB. Relay ZPB operates, locks, removes ground from lead 7RSH, changes the pulsing path from switch S1 to switch 452, removes ground from lead 8MM, and opens the pulsing path Via lead 1SC to the Ticketer. Switch STR in the Coder 12 restores and advances its wipers one step which removes the control digit from leads iw-4Z and causes vthe relay circuit ZPE to be opened, unless the tirst rout- -ing digit is the same as a control digit.

The circuit to relays ZPE `and Z'PF is opened when relay ZPB operates. Relays ZPE and ZPF restore. Relay ZPE closes a homing circuit to switch 481, closes a multiple ground to relay SCT, and closes resistance battery to lead SPE. Relay yZPF opens the pulsing circuit to switch 4S2, and removes ground from lead 2PM. Switch 431 homes to normal self-interrupted via its interrupter and off-normal springs, and opens the circuit to relay 4PC (if operated). When at normal its offnormal springs restore, open the homing circuit, and open the circuit to relay 3FG. Relay 4PC restores. Relay SPG restores, opens lthe circuit to relay ZRS, opens the circuit to relay ZPB. Relay 2RS restores, closes leads 2"I`=1 and SRLS, and removes ground from lead SCG.

l Relay 2PB restores and prepares a circuit to relay ZPE to start the cycle of sending the iirst routing digit. i

TRANS-DATED ROUTING DrRECTIvE VIA DIAL-PULSES (OPERATED: RELAYS 63B, SCT, AND GSB) The `first ground pulse from the pulse generator (after relay ZPB restores), closes a circuit to relay ZPB. Relay ZPE operates, and short circuits relay ZPF. When the ,ground pulse is removed, the short circuit is removed from relay ZPF. Relay 2BR operates, closes an additional series circuit to itsellc and relay ZPB, closes the pulsing circuit to switch 4S1, grounds lead 8MM which operates switch STR in the Coder 12, and removes Ithe short circuit from leads 1ST and 1SR. As the pulse generator pulses switch 481, it also opens the loop via leads 1ST and lISR which steps the Ticketer Selector (or `subsequent switches) via the Ticketer. Switch 481 follows the ground pulses and steps its wipers. On the first step, its R.S.O.N. springs operate and close a circuit to relay SPG. Relay 3FG operates, and locks. Switch 481 steps with each pulse until its wipers reach the terminals marked (via leads W12, X12, Y12 md Z12 in the coder), the iirst digit of :the routing directive stored in the Coder 12.

When the rst digit of the routing directive is reached, ground is closed to both windings of relay 4P'C. Relay 4PC operates and closes a circuit to relay ZPB. Relay ZPB operates, locks, removes `ground from lead 7RSH, changes the pulsing path from switch 481 to 432, short circuits leads l'SR and 1ST to terminate the loop pulsing, removes ground from lead 8MM, and opens the circuit to relay SCT. Relay 3CT restores, opens leads SCA and 30M, and removes ground from leads `l-SAL and SSAK. Switch STR of the Coder 12 restores (when ground is removed from lead 8MM), 4advances its. wipers one step to code storage relay group 13, which removes the first digit marking from leads Lill/"4Z, and opens the circuit to relay 4PC. Relay 4P() restores, unless the digit stored in code storage relay group 13 is the same as in code storage relay group 12.

INTERDIGITAL PAUSE (OPERATED: RELAYS 113B. eS-B, QPE, SPG, AND POSSTBLY 413C AND THE oFF-NORMAL SPRINGS OF SWITCH 4S1) The pulse generator closes the ground pulse to switch S2 which operates and steps its wipers. On the iirst step, its oE-normal springs operate `and close the homing circuit to switch 481. Switch S1 homes to normal selfinterrupted via its interrupter and off-normal springs and opens the circuit to relay 4PC. When at normal, the olnorrnal springs restore and open the homing circuit. Relay 4PC restores. Switch 482 continues to step its wipers and, when 'ground is encountered on leads 4W, 4X, 4Y, or 4Z, the circuit is closed to relay SCT. Relay SCT operates and locks as previously described.

As switch S2 takes the fifth step, the circuit is opened to relays ZPB and ZPF. Relay ZPE restores and opens the 'circuit to relay SPG. Relay 2PF restores, opens the pulsing circuit to switch 482, and removes ground from lead 2PM. Relay SPG restores, closes the homing circuit to switch 4S2, closes leads 35K and 451i. Switch 482 homes to normal self-interrupted via its interrupter and ofi-normal springs, When at normal, its off-normal springs restore, open the thorn-ing circuit and open the circuit to relay ZPB. Relay ZPB restores as previously described and prepares the circuit to relay ZPE to start the second digit cycle.

TRANSLATED ROUTING DIRECTIVE CONTINUED f (OPERATED: RELAYS lBB, QSB, AND SCT) The digit sending `cycle for the second, third, fourth, lifth, and sixth digits (if stored) is the same as yfor the lirst digit, as `described in the preceding section. All the ldigits to be sent are marked on leads W12 to Z17 and
